Samenvatting

The Specialized Epic is a highly efficient and lightweight cross-country bike, celebrated for its Brain suspension technology that adapts to terrain for optimal performance. It excels in climbing and technical sections, offering racer-inspired handling and stability. While it's praised for its race-ready features and innovative design, some reviews note the Brain system's polarizing nature and the bike's high price point.

Pros
  • Lightweight carbon frame

  • Brain suspension technology for adaptive performance

  • Excellent climbing efficiency

  • Racer-inspired handling and stability

  • Innovative design with updated geometry

Cons
  • Brain suspension system can be polarizing

  • High price point for some models

  • Limited adjustability of suspension on the fly

  • Some models lack size inclusivity

Key Quotes
The Epic Pro offers nearly identical ride qualities as the S-Works Epic at a fraction of the cost.

Specialized Epic Comp Carbon EVO review

dec 2019 · Mick Kirkman

The Epic EVO is a blast, but some of the Comp’s kit will be a bit heavy for full-XC psycho pain-cavers

Hoogtepunten
  • EVO handling is super-sweet and intuitive

  • Ride position eggs you on to give it everything pretty much all of the time

Dieptepunten
  • Brain 2.0 won’t be smart enough for every rider

  • Some components are out of place on a £4k XC-style bike

Specialized Epic Expert EVO in review

okt 2019 · Trev Worsey

The Epic is Specialized’s no-nonsense lightweight XC racer. But just like the Stumpjumper, the Epic is also offered in a more progressive EVO spec.

Hoogtepunten
  • Very lively on flow trails

  • Like a rocket uphill

Dieptepunten
  • Micro Brain inertia valve delay

  • XC cockpit limits versatility

Specialized Epic Comp Evo Review

sep 2019 · Guy Kesteven

Has a longer fork and bigger tyres turned the alloy Specialized Epic into a lightweight play bike?

Hoogtepunten
  • Still extremely light for the money despite a trail toughened spec

  • Unique and very effective automatic hardtail/full suspension switching

Dieptepunten
  • Flexy frame and wheels, plus short and steep geometry

  • Clunky suspension actuation in firmer modes, highlighted by gappy free-hub pick up

Specialized Epic Expert Evo review: XC speed with more sizzle - CyclingTips

nov 2018 · James Huang

Specialized has offered several “Evo” mountain bike models in the past, all fitted with burlier builds that aim to make things more fun on the way down, with minimal sacrifice on the way up. For the first time, the XC racing-focused Epic gets the treatment, with the new Epic Expert Evo retaining the family’s excellent […]

Hoogtepunten
  • Brain rear shock performs as claimed, superb handling, mostly fantastic build kit

Dieptepunten
  • Brain rear shock is quirky, woeful rear hub, so-so weight
